According to family members, 7-year-old Kimaree Ivory and her father, Demarius, were walking with Kimaree's 3-year-old brother outside to wish a relative a Merry Christmas.

"A car drove by real slow then the car hit," Kimaree said. "I said 'were those firecrackers?' Then I said 'that was a gun'. Then I said 'I'm hit and my daddy too.'"

The bullet that hit young Kimaree in the leg is still in her leg.

One of those bullets hit Demarius Ivory in the arm. It struck the same arm he was holding his 3-year-old son in. Thankfully, the 3-year-old was not hurt.

"My grandson, even though he wasn't hit, all he's been doing is walking around the house saying 'they shot my daddy and they shot Kimaree, but they missed me," Marchell Smith, Kimaree' grandmother, said.

But, Kimaree said she's thankful that he was spared from injury.

"I am glad J didn't get shot," she said.

Thomas and Williams were arrested in Jacksonville, Arkansas, just north of Little Rock. Police said Thomas barricaded himself inside the attic of a Jacksonville home for about 20 minutes before police were able to take him into custody without incident.

"They tried to convince me that they were not involved with the crime, but you know I told them we didn't drive two hours to pick you up for a joyride," Helena-West Helana Police Chief Virgil Green said.

The motive behind the shooting is unclear at this time. Now, the family said they forgive the people responsible for the shooting.
